反復・継続・繰り返しです。
話し方レッスンを卒業して3ヶ月。メモを見返すと忘れている話法も多く、改めて復習を始めました。基本形は数が多いわけではなく、毎日意識して使えば自然と身につくはずです。
つなぎ言葉の「あー」「えー」が減るだけでも、話の印象は大きく変わります。会社員時代、発表者のつなぎ言葉が気になったことを思い出し、自分も気をつけようと気持ちを新たにしました。
グループレッスンでも毎回チェックインで話す機会があり、基本を繰り返す大切さを実感しています。売上が劇的に伸びた方もいるとのこと。基本に忠実に、反復・継続・繰り返しです。
Getting back to the basics of speaking!
It’s all about repetition, continuity, and practice.
It has been three months since I finished my speaking course. Looking back at my notes, I realized I had forgotten many of the techniques, so I’ve started reviewing them. There aren’t that many fundamental patterns; if I make a conscious effort to use them every day, they should eventually become second nature.
Simply cutting down on filler words like “um” and “uh” can drastically change the impression you make when speaking. I remembered how those kinds of fillers used to bother me when listening to presenters during my time as a corporate employee, and I’ve renewed my resolve to watch my own speech habits.
I also have opportunities to speak during the “check-in” at every group lesson, which reinforces the importance of repeatedly practicing the basics. I’ve heard that some people have seen their sales skyrocket as a result. I’m sticking faithfully to the fundamentals—repetition, continuity, and practice.
